MATTA is an independent, forward-thinking, digital-first creative agency for sport.  Our campaigns have won multiple awards, and we have been Agency of the Year several times over.

We build digital and social strategies, design and position brands, hatch big ideas, create advertising campaigns, produce content, and we have a design, video, and edit studio in-house.
